Aimee, Edison, Vanessa, Debbie, Robert, Kelly and Dave outside UCC Cafe.
I met up with 2 batches of Beijinoys for dinner Friday and Saturday night. Aside from me and Dave showing showing up at both dinners, the only other thing they had in common was me missing gym. (Forgot to bring a towel Friday and reached both Makati branches of Slimmer's World too late Saturday.) Good food, but, good god, I'm gonna bloat up.
The first dinner was at Burgoo at The Podium, w/c brought a deja vu moment since the last time I met up w/ Dave we have dinner there as well, only it was at the Greenhills branch. While waiting for them to arrive I roamed around The Podium (and confirming my earlier assessment that this was one dull mall) The San Miguel Choir (the beer company employees who felt like forming a choir) was performing for a series of free concerts on the ground floor. I was watching from the third, though I was actually listening to the Visions of Escaflowne OST on my mp3 player. After dinner I ran into old classmate Rachel Go (whose family had an optical shop on the ground floor), who was also having dinner and watching the mini booth they set up on 3rd floor selling shades at a disount. I asked her to help me pick out a pair but they all N.G. for me. Hitched a ride w/ Robert and Debbie (who goes back to China on the 8th for a job at a paper mill in GuangZhou).
The second dinner was at Grappa's, a restaurant I've only eaten in once before (either celebrating Aimee Uy's or my birthday). Skipped the buffet, but the spinach lasagna was good.
Damn, neglected to take a picture of Fernds and Abby (as well as Stephanie and her boyfriend) when they joined us at Max Bremmer for our nightcap.
Today also markes the first time I drove home alone to and from Makati alone since I came back. It was almost mechanical, meaning I still knew the way. Acutally the way home took a bit of luck, but don't tell Ma that.
Dave, Joyce, Hy-C, Jella, Die's sister (sorry, forgot her name), Die and yours truly at Grappa's.
